Kind of neat in a way. How do you get the rear axle off...get a new swingarm?

I don't know how well it would handle with the leading axle fork either...

that is effing hideous. the extreme chain angle must do wonders for suspension action. is that a superchanger behind the cylinder? the wheels look like pretty flowers.
these guys need to stick to glitter glides.

I dunno...if you could develop enough anti squat, you wouldn't have to use such a heavy spring.

I think the fan thing might be cooling through the primary drive belt. If it's a motard, you wouldn't be going really, really fast. Fan might keep some head moving off the back of the cylinder.

the parts unlimited bike doesn't look very functional & will probably win as many races as the Ducati Hyper Motard but it looks fawking kewl - I really like the Dunlop bike too - saw it in the pits at Laguna Seca last year - maybe I'll be able to afford one of his bikes once the "chopper" fad dies off

That may be his signature bit, but its hardly a new idea.

Actually IMO its a pretty stupid idea....not only are you putting way more heat into the chain, but changing your gearing suddenly became very expensive and complicated.....no thanks

The axle has a cover over the end of it to look flush. All those custom choppers have that.

I don't get the comment on leading axle forks, though... Have a looksie here, and tell what all the bikes have in common.

The rotor/sprocket is definitely just plain dumb !
